I get White Ibis, Snowy Egret, I first guessed Anhinga, but changed my mind to Double-crested Cormorant after reading Anon.'s comment.

The only one I'm not sure of is the heron. I thought Little Blue rather than Tricolored. Can anyone help me with this one?

White Ibis, Snowy Egret, DC Cormorant, Tricolored Heron.

Kathi, look at the legs and bill on the Heron. The bill is too long and the wrong color to be a Little Blue. The other possibility would be Reddish Egret but again, The ID marks aren't quite right. This one is certainly a Tricolored.

Anon nailed it--double-crested cormorant, tricolored heron, snowy egret, white ibis.

Good Job!

Thanks, Parus. I haven't seen any of those herons (Little Blue, Tricolored, or Reddish) so your ID tips helped. I will be in Orlando later this month, and hope to pick up one or more of these birds.
